The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1887-06-10

'It is encouraging to learn that
Senator Vance Of North Carolina is
still dissatisfied with the admini-tra-
ton. He recently declared himself
"not a Cleveland man." No better
evidence could he desired that tn
President is adhering to his pledge
TO carry out an honest reform of the
civil service than from the fact that
he is opposed by the school of lesn
and lank what are-we- here-fO poll
!ticians of which Senator Vance is
one of the most prominent and per-
sistent representatives." -Galveston
NeaUs.
The Galveston NpUs is a straight,
sound, and good Democratic pal er.
It's editor, who is a native of North
Carolina, is a personal friend Of the
President 1t is unfortunate fo-
North Carolina that its best known
Senator should be thus spoken of Nv
reputable leading papers of the coun-
try and tie party. 1t is in fact a
most unhappy circumstance, and
one that does the Democrats of our
State little honor."-Durham Plant.
We never knew before, that Coils
onel Beio, the editor of the G>lv"',
ton Neacs, was Nor
N"0" AZ now, because The Plant
says 50. but We did know that Col
Belo was a moneyed lord and not
only controls and owns theGal Npws,
but also the Dallas N'o,fs, and that
he is a Mug 1ump Of the first order
and a civil service crank. Bat the
secret Of Belo's opposition to Vance
is inadvertently explained
by the Plant, when it says he (Belo
is personal friend Of the President
The Plant not knowingly has like
Belo lost sight Of the party an | its
eternal principles, in beh"lding the
gran teur, greatness sublimity anC
stupendous immcn-ity of Grover
/ Cleveland 50 We have said ali the
while. Cleveland's administration l:
personal one, and all his friends
are personal ana not political. Col
| Beln can see no fault in his personal
! friend he is blind t. the interest O.
his party and his doctrine, like hi:
prototypes IN North Caroliaa. in hi
admiration Of his personal friend
/ But the noble and grand cid senate
of North Carolina unlike our civl
service friends, has his ewes fixet
upon the interest, honor and elOr'
Of the party and upon the maiuten
anCe and perpetuation OF its prin
ciples. In the eyes of some Cleve
land is bigger than the party anl
constitutes The party and is its onl,
Hope. Vance and many others thinl
the party bigger than Cleveland ant
Of more Importance than he and hi
personal friends" OF conrse h
